European Resistance Archive/European Resistance Archive (ERA)
-
That’s why I’m not in the picture the boys took when they arrived in Scandiano.
-
I was walking ahead in order to see if there were any dangers and eventually go back to inform the others.
-
But there were no problems at all, so I went on and they did the same, all the way down.
-
When we made it to Reggio it was early evening.
-
We had passed by Buco del Signore and arrived in Reggio in high spirits.
-
When we arrived in Reggio it was incredible, wonderful.
-
I don’t know if people thought that the war was over or if they still feared that it would go on,
-
but I’m sure that everybody was just as happy as I was.
-
The following day my sister and I went back home right away, since she had not seen our parents for a year.
-
Together with my older brother we had gone to see our sister often,
-
although one time we had to go 10 km away since she was afraid to come back home.
-
Everybody knew she was involved in the Resistance, so she was afraid to come back and be arrested.
-
That’s why we went home as soon as the war was over, and that was it for us.
-
We stopped moving around and immediately got back to work at home.
-
Then in May we went to work together in the rice-fields in Piedmont, and by the end of the year she got married.
-
After the war was over we weren’t involved in the Resistance anymore.
-
Maybe I did have a card, you see, but I don’t know anymore.
-
Our family was at home then, and we were rather happy, although we didn’t have any money or anything at all.
-
We really had to get to work and do something.
-
My sister was about to get married and we didn’t even have anything for her trousseau.
